Jeff Stelling delivers 'special' Nottingham Forest verdict after Southampton win

Sky Sports host Jeff Stelling has heaped praise on Nottingham Forest fans after the Reds' 4-3 win over Southampton on Monday night.

Steve Cooper's side climbed out of the Premier League bottom three with just three games left as they look to secure their top-flight status.

If Forest stay up at the end of the campaign, a significant reason will be their home form with the Reds having lost just five times at the City Ground in the league. Conversely, they have only won once away from home.

The home support near the banks of the River Trent has no doubt pushed Forest on in recent weeks having beaten Brighton and Brentford in their last two matches on home turf.

And the atmosphere generated under the lights at the City Ground has not gone unnoticed by Soccer Saturday legend Stelling. He tweeted: "'@NFFC fans a bit special aren't they," after the Reds' win.

Forest face Chelsea next at Stamford Bridge before hosting title-chasing Arsenal the following week. They end the season at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.
